S.S. Brighton
Photo gallery, 1950s and 60s
By Trevor Chepstow
This photograph shows the famous Australian trick cyclist, Banner Forbut, promoting Tom Arnold's 1953 Ice Circus where he was appearing as a speciality act at the Sports Stadium in West Street, Brighton. This photograph was taken in Hove and shows the open decked buses belong to the Brighton & Hove District Bus Company. The cream open top buses were a regular sight on Brighton seafront in the summer months. In the background is the sign for G. Luff, baker and confectioner, this may give a better idea of the exact location of where this photograph was taken in Hove.
